“Order and simplification are the first steps towards mastery of a subject.” Thomas Mann

COSMIC WEATHER:

The Moon in “organizing” Virgo, today, helps us to get our affairs in order. It is also a very good time to be proactive about things, or to anticipate what may lie ahead. Virgo’s ruler, Mercury, is also conjunct “eliminating” Pluto, which is a green light for our ability to effectively phase out or discern what is no longer needed.

“Thank God I found the GOOD in goodbye.” Beyonce Knowles

Question for Today: What do you think makes you hold on to something that you know you should really get rid of?

“In the beginning there was nothing. God said, ‘Let there be light!’ And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better.” Ellen DeGeneres

Enjoy your Tuesday! 🙂

The Moon’s monthly shift into organizing and purifying Virgo (10:42 am EDT) is our merry little cue to put more order and cleanliness in our lives. Refurbishing or renovating projects are also encouraged with the Virgo Moon’s magical trine to transforming Pluto (7:28 pm EDT) in goal-oriented Capricorn. Moon-Pluto is potentially very healing energy as well. Also, it is outstanding for arriving at sudden, emotional breakthroughs, partly because Pluto aligns us with our subconscious side. Later, the Moon’s harmonious trine to expansive Jupiter, in self-indulgent Taurus (8:56 pm EDT), gives us a green light to engage in all manner of self-pampering. This influence can also help to put us in a more jovial, lighthearted mood.

One possible storm cloud on the horizon today: Lovable Venus in passionate Scorpio is forming a 135-degree linkup with free-spirited Uranus in spontaneous Aries. Venus-Uranus often equates with our wanting to do our own thing, regardless of the costs. Of course, engaging in that type of behavior always carries corresponding risks. This influence can also incline us to seek out more unusual recreational or social outlets, perhaps as a sure flight from boredom.

The first half of the day, the waning Moon wraps up her stay in dramatic Leo forming her monthly opposition to fantasy Neptune (1:11 pm EDT), which potentially casts a more surreal tone to matters. With Moon-Neptune the challenge is always to stay grounded or anchored and avoid being swept away by undercurrents of worry or fear.

Of course, as many of us are waking up this morning, Hurricane Irene is still front and center in the news, as she hammers away at the northeastern seaboard of the U.S. Too, Neptune governs the sea and hurricanes. On the shadow side, Neptune’s ray can be very undermining and eroding, as we see this playing out now with Irene. Neptune symbolizes our link with the Divine and part of its mission seems to be to remind us of the shifting, temporal nature of things. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those persons being impacted by this storm. I live in central North Carolina and felt Irene’s winds all day yesterday and they were pretty scary and intimidating, even on the periphery.

We do have the Moon shifting into efficient Virgo this afternoon (2:13 pm EDT) and also a New Moon tonight at 5 degrees of the sign (11:04 pm EDT). New Moons signify new beginnings and this New Moon brings with it a magical Grand Earth Trine involving propitious Jupiter in Taurus and regenerating Pluto in Capricorn. This Grand Trine will hopefully be very empowering for us, if we can tap into its energy. Sweet Venus is also conjunct this lunation adding a social dimension to it.

Virgo presides over the areas of health and diet, and also work and service to others. It also governs the more routine aspects of daily living such as cleaning, organizing, etc. Today’s New Moon in Virgo suggests that we have a wonderful chance to get our personal affairs in order over the course of the next month. It’s a great time, for instance, to tidy up or de-clutter the home front, get our checking account balanced, tackle that mountain of paper on the desk. Or to maybe focus on self-care matters, such as revamping our diet and or recommitting to a health and exercise program. Also, it’s an excellent time to apply for a new job, perfect our skills or hone a craft. With transforming Pluto at play, we may also find it a favorable period to revive old projects.

Happy New Moon Blessings! Enjoy your Sunday!

“If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles.” Doug Larson, 1924 Olympic Gold Medal Winner in middle-distance running.

We have a Full Moon today at 11:38 a.m. ET. Whenever the Moon is full, we are at a culmination point and tend to have heightened awareness, if not more emotional intensity. Some things that may have not been clearly understood earlier, may now be made obvious.

The full Moon is also occurring in the practical, analytical sign of Virgo the Virgin. As a result of this placement, we may be inclined to have, what I like to call, more of a “purification mind-set.” We may feel the urge to become personally more organized. We may want to tidy up our surroundings, reduce clutter.

The Virgo energy is always excellent for discerning what is out of place. It also has a special knack, if not an obsession, for putting things back in proper order.

Since Virgo also rules health and nutrition, we may feel more of a need to take care of our bodies and pay attention to our health. Today, for example, would be a great day to read up on nutrition and health.

Besides the Full Moon, we also have another key event taking place in the heavens today. The Illuminating Sun is meeting up with Big Lord Jupiter by conjunction in the sign of Pisces the Fish. The Sun and Jupiter get together annually this way. However, they only team up together in Pisces every twelve years or so.

Jupiter and the Sun are the largest two planets in our solar system, so when the two of them combine forces, the affect of their merger, can be pretty sizable and signficant, both symbolically and literally.

The intrinsic nature of Jupiter, by itself, is very expansive. Whenever its ray is involved in our lives, it tends to produce an abundance. In astrology, Jupiter is also the planet associated with luck, optimism and prosperity. Sometimes, accordingly, we are luckier and experience more good fortune when Jupiter is around.

We sometimes also just feel luckier with Jupiter and more self-confident. That self-confidence can spur us on to taking action to propel ourselves forward. Since many of us naturally harbor so much inner self-doubt about our abilities, a little bit of Jupiter can be a breath of fresh air.

Sometimes, though, too much of a good thing can end up boomeranging on us. With Jupiter, we may begin to believe our horizons and talents are unlimited, so we bite off more than we can chew. Therefore, we need to make sure now that we don’t get too carried away with our grand plans and ideas. Hopefully, too, the common-sense Virgo Moon can help us out here in keeping us grounded.

In astrology, all the signs and planets symbolize different areas, occupations, etc. Jupiter rules, among other things, writers and the publishing industry, churches and religious clergy, teachers and universities, lawyers and the legal profession.

Pisces, meanwhile, represents many different things, including the downtrodden or misunderstood members of our society, who are maybe low on their luck or resources, and or who are perhaps ill and confined. It also rules creative endeavors, and governs our imagination, including any imaginary characters that may spring from it, including cartoon characters. Lastly, Pisces also governs water and the sea and all those wonderful creatures who inhabit water.

Keeping all this in mind, here’s a little something that I wanted to leave you with this Sunday. A few things that have happened before in history when the Sun and Jupiter have been together in Pisces:
